I don’t often agree with Kane Cornes

    No, you can't claim losing Treloar was a good idea. If someone's started betting on roulette and is losing a grand or two each month it can't be claimed he's a brilliant punter because he's in a better car (which is because his salary went up 100k you don't know about and nothing to do with his punting losses)

    I think you are going out of your way to miss my point.

    2024 was the time to start the rebuild. The off season will make or break and 2023 should have been ours. But we must adapt and quickly.

    I know we love trading back into the draft with future picks and I usually love it. This year we just have to keep that 2026 1st round pick, commit to a year of playing the kids with a new coach and copping a year or two at the bottom. Maybe try for the mini draft picks tassie will have our something I don't know, but embrace the slide and inject ample youth.

    I've previously largely felt a whole rebuild wasn't necessary but now I see it as the only way out.

    I think if we had started the rebuild last year the club would have been destroyed by the chaos and mayhem surrounding it.

    The club this time around have no choice in the matter now.

    All avenues regarding trading to our club and out of our club must exist at the end of this season.

    But a new set of eyes (coach) must be cast on this list, Goody is too close with all the players now and what has transpired in the off-season with all this player empowerment sh yte must ceast to exist.

    Lamb, Richardson, Griffiths all assistants must all leave the building at seasons end.

    • GAMEDAY: St. Kilda

      It's Game Day and there are only 5 games to go. Can the Demons find some consistency and form as they stagger towards the finish line of another uninspiring season?

    • PREVIEW: St. Kilda

      It seems like only yesterday that these two sides faced off against each other in the centre of the continent. It was when Melbourne was experiencing a rare period of success with five wins from its previous six matches including victories over both of last year’s grand finalists.  Well, it wasn’t yesterday but it was early last month and it remains etched clearly in the memory. The Saints were going through a slump and the predicted outcome of their encounter at TIO Traeger Park was a virtual no-brainer. A Melbourne victory and another step closer to a possible rise into finals contention. Something that was unthinkable after opening the season with five straight defeats.

    • REPORT: Carlton

      I am now certain that the decline in fortunes of the Melbourne Football Club from a premiership power with the potential for more success to come in the future, started when the team ran out for their Round 9 match up against Carlton last year. After knocking over the Cats in a fierce contest the week before, the Demons looked uninterested at the start of play and gave the Blues a six goal start. They recovered to almost snatch victory but lost narrowly with a score of 11.10.76 to 12.5.77. Yesterday, they revisited the scene and provided their fans with a similar display of ineptitude early in the proceedings. Their attitude at the start was poor, given that the game was so winnable. Unsurprisingly, the resulting score was almost identical to that of last year and for the fourth time in succession, the club has lost a game against Carlton despite having more scoring opportunities.

    • CASEY: Carlton

      The Casey Demons smashed the Carlton Reserves off the park at Casey Fields on Sunday to retain a hold on an end of season wild card place. It was a comprehensive 108 point victory in which the home side was dominant and several of its players stood out but, in spite of the positivity of such a display, we need to place an asterisk over the outcome which saw a net 100 point advantage to the combined scores in the two contests between Demons and Blues over the weekend.
